If you are checking today’s potato mandi prices, you are at the right place. On 13 January 2026, potato prices across major markets delivered mixed signals, leaving both farmers and traders carefully reassessing their selling strategy.
Today’s potato market showed a clear divide. In some mandis, heavy arrivals pushed prices down sharply, while in others, limited supply supported strong rates. This is why today’s potato prices are not just about checking numbers, but about understanding where selling is profitable and where waiting makes better sense.
Fresh trends from Delhi, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan clearly indicate that the potato market is still unstable. Mandis with high inflow forced farmers to sell under pressure, while low-arrival markets rewarded good-quality potatoes with better prices.

The maximum price pressure was observed at Keshopur mandi in Delhi, where massive arrivals of nearly 1,300 tonnes restricted prices to ₹400–₹800 per quintal. A similar trend was seen at Pune (Moshi), where 90 tonnes of arrivals kept prices below ₹1,000 per quintal.
In contrast, Rajasthan markets such as Sujangarh, Bijaynagar, and Alwar recorded strong prices between ₹1,400 and ₹1,500 per quintal, supported by low to moderate arrivals. Pune (Manjari) and Junnar also witnessed firm prices in the ₹1,300–₹1,500 range due to limited supply.
Markets with very low arrivals such as Dabli Rathan, Goluwala, and Rawatsar remained stable, while mandis with heavy inflow continued to face price pressure.
Avoid immediate selling in high-arrival markets like Keshopur (Delhi) and Pune (Moshi), as prices may weaken further.
Low-arrival mandis in Rajasthan and Maharashtra are currently offering better prices; sending good-quality potatoes to these markets may be profitable.
Farmers with storage facilities can consider holding produce for some time, as prices may improve with rising demand.
Always compare rates across multiple mandis before making a selling decision.
